October 19, 2013, Kayla’s hard work and dedication to her music was awarded MyRuralRadio.com 2013 Artist of the Year. This honor was awarded to Kayla during Fall Fest Five held at Naylor’s Winery. Special thanks to Mike Males and Trampas Ferree.

While Kayla is a fulltime distinguished honor student at Central High School, she juggles her busy performing schedule with also being involved in Senior Honors Choir, Concorde and within the theatrical department at school. She never waivers from her music, but continues to strive to make it diverse and enhanced with each show.

Kayla began taking voice and guitar lessons from local educator and performer Heather Sneeringer in August of 2010. These lessons sparked a fire that led Kayla to attempt writing her own songs. May 18, 2012, with the help of producers Bobby Gentilo and Jason Hoffheins, she got in the studio and brought the songs to life and released her E.P. entitled “On Your Own”. While Kayla was only 12 years old at the time, her songwriting and singing abilities along with a talented group of seasoned musicians, they created a mature and polished product that belied her young age. Her music is now featured on MyRuralRadio.com, SongwritersIsland.com, iTunes, Amazon.com and CD Baby.
